Don't Travel By Train

Just a note to say that I know I’ve been a bum and neglecting the blog, but I have some real treats to come. I’m going to the motherland – Ireland… this summer – staying at the Clarence Hotel, going on the tours, writing on the wall at Hanover Quay… doing what everyone needs to …

Today, I am wearing a bit of my hero around my wrist.

On my way home from my trip to see ZooStation in Seattle via Vancouver/Edmonton and we have the most incredible view over the Pacific Northwest tonight. A near cloudless sky is giving us so many gorgeous vistas I had to get the iPhone out to take a few pics.

I’m happy to report that I’ve made the first donation to Music Rising with the proceeds from my Edge calendar. Today also sadly marks the the 6th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
So far I have sold 21 calendars and raised a total of $106.14 Canadian.

When Bono turned 50 I remember thinking that I wanted to do something special for Edge when he reached the same milestone. I knew that I would be pressed for time with it only being 2 weeks after my last show on the 360 tour (Minneapolis) but I still had a dream to do something for him, no matter how hectic life may be upon my return.

This summer has a way of staying magic even though I thought it was over.

This is a blog post to tell you about… blog posts. I think I have finally assimilated into my previous non-U2360-touring life, and am now in the process of gathering my thoughts, memories and photos from each show on my “second leg” spanning June 24-July 24 and my 8 final shows. I will be posting …

On this most special of days, The Edge’s 50th birthday, I don’t know what I can possibly say to my hero but thank you.
